It's a shame that court removed Maier

It saddens me to see George Maier removed as sheriff ("Ohio Supreme Court ousts Sheriff Maier, reinstates Sheriff Swanson," Nov. 6). He really was doing a much better job than Tim Swanson ever did in all the years he was in office.

I could list quite a few instances to prove that point, but what is the use? It is politics as usual.

I read a CantonRep.com comment this weekend where one lady stated Mr. Maier should give all the money back that he earned. He earned that money and did it well, too.

The Sheriff's Office needs some new blood. It has always been the buddy system. You have to be blind not to see that. It was never how good or experienced you were, it was whose list you were on. Stark County has always been for the good old buddy system. Where has it got us?

Mr. Maier did a good job, and everything he did was certainly noticed and proved that point. Maybe he is lucky not to have to be caught in the political combine of Stark County. They don't seem to want anybody who is good and able to do a good job.
